SIR:-That there is something radically
wrong with the Wheeling base ball team
can no longer be successfully denied. The
thing is plain enough lor blind man, and
if the national game Is to continue To De
popular here, some very vigorous action
must he taken, and taken IN manner
which will inspire some little confidence.
Wheeling is undoubtedly one OF the best
base ball towns in the country, but 1t
will speedily become the worst, II
the present state. OF affairs
is allowed to continue The public Is
awake, and Yesterday the disgust reached
such pitch that the Wheeling club vas
taken out OF the combination at Wick
hams This is Il nice state ri affairs, ism
it, What do the Board OF Directors mean,
in thus triiing with the public: DO they
think they can 20 on in this way until the
end ut the trip, and then bring the nine
home, make another grand blum by put
ting in one or two new players, and expect
our people To renew the liberal patronage
of the past? fancy this idea has been
worked out
No one can deny that up to the time
our club started on the present trip the
Wheeling boys were playing - good ball
As any club in the League, and we had I
right to expect we would win at least hall
of the games played. But Is soon ~ our
boys GOT out OF town the club w!ltrd
in most peculiar way, aud the
Wheeling nine was the play thing
of the League Folks who could back
Wheeling to lose had soft snap. 1t Is
notorious that jealousy among
the players has lost us several games;
there has been extremely bad playing
on several occasions by men who can play
as GOOD ball a. any in the League.
Yesterdays score affords an cNampI" Of
this. aud yet the Board OF Directors not
only do nothing, hut are heard on the street
talking about bad luck This is t.'c-
some to lovers OF ball playing. II the
Board. instead of talking about bad luck, ~
would fine about four members - each
ion had playing, we would win more games.
The suap has been worked until 1t ms
